The Second Time Around: Things to Watch in Term No. 2

The second time around might be lovelier when it comes to love, but not exactly when it comes to being president.

Richard Nixon had Watergate. George W. Bush got a burst housing bubble and a recession (and ducked a shoe flying at his head). Ronald Reagan had the Iran-Contra affair. Bill Clinton got impeached for lying about his affair.

The second term wasn’t even a picnic for George Washington: walking a tightrope to keep from getting dragged into hostilities between Britain and France, squashing the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania, and putting up with Jefferson and Hamilton drama when he just wanted to retire to his farm.

And though a fair number thought President Obama, struggling with stagnant economic recovery, would go the way of Jimmy Carter, he will be sworn in for a second term in January.

He faces economic woes, a nuclear Iran, empowered China and Russia, al-Qaeda that wasn’t quite so “on the run” after all, and more.

What happens next?

Those questions will begin to be answered even before inauguration. There are pressing issues to deal with in the lame-duck session as Congress returns next week from the lengthy campaign recess.

Deemed the “fiscal cliff,” the Bush tax cuts expire next month and drastic sequestration cuts that could gut national defense go into effect just after the new year unless Congress steps in. Just a few months after that, the nation will hit the debt ceiling again as the latest continuing resolution funding a budget-less government will expire.

Despite heated debates and stalemates over both, many on the Hill are actually counting on taxes and spending as the friendliest, least incendiary place for Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to start forging some agreement.

In a news conference yesterday, Boehner said his is a message not of confrontation, “but of conviction” — and he pooh-poohed the idea of passing short-term resolutions to the fiscal cliff in the lame duck.

“That might get us out of town, but it won’t get us out of the problem. It will also hurt the economy,” he said. “We can’t go on like that. We can’t keep setting the bar that low. It’s time we raised the bar.”

“Mr. President, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives stands ready to work with you to do what’s best for our country. And that’s exactly what I told the president earlier today,” Boehner continued. “That is the will of the people. And we answer to them.” He encouraged 1986-style tax reform in the model of President Reagan working with Tip O’Neill’s Democratic House.

“In order to garner Republican support for new revenues, the president must be willing to reduce spending and shore up the entitlement programs that are the primary drivers of our debt. We aren’t seeking to impose our will on the president; we’re asking him to make good on his ‘balanced’ approach,” the speaker said.

“The president reiterated his commitment to finding bipartisan solutions to: reduce our deficit in a balanced way, cut taxes for middle-class families and small businesses and create jobs,” the White House said in a readout of Obama’s phone calls to congressional leaders after his victory. “The president said he believed that the American people sent a message in yesterday’s election that leaders in both parties need to put aside their partisan interests and work with common purpose to put the interests of the American people and the American economy first.”

Any thawing in the icy relationship between Obama and Boehner, perhaps over a shared affection for golf or smoking, would certainly be a baby step forward in reaching any sort of agreement — carefully forged to not create GOP losses in midterm elections.

But there’s another factor that will be screaming in the back of Republicans’ minds: if you’re going to get something from the president, make sure it has an immediate return.

After all, Obama has notoriously reneged on agreements with GOP lawmakers. Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) extracted 11th-hour promises from Obama to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenal in exchange for the Christmas 2010 passage of the New START treaty — promises that still haven’t been fulfilled.

So don’t trust, and definitely verify.

What are some other second-term issues to keep an eye on?

IMMIGRATION

Some Dems were confidently citing the immigration issue, on which Obama failed to deliver reform as promised in his first term, as the reason for his re-election. “Nobody can deny the power of the Latino vote and the immigration issue in electing President Barack Obama,” tweeted Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) noted that Hispanic voter approval for Obama is only around 50 percent, and said they saw him as the “lesser of two evils” but “didn’t have a fondness for him.”

But immigration reform is a second-term issue on which Republicans could not just steer the direction, but steal the president’s thunder.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) had been drafting a DREAM Act alternative before Obama issued his deferred action directive to the Department of Homeland Security over the summer. A Republican who was working on something similar in the House, Rep. David Rivera (R-Fla.), was defeated Tuesday.

Rubio quickly issued a statement upon confirmation of the presidential election results that noted “the conservative movement should have particular appeal to people in minority and immigrant communities who are trying to make it, and Republicans need to work harder than ever to communicate our beliefs to them.”

“I look forward to working on these goals with my new and returning colleagues in Congress and hope the President will get behind our efforts,” Rubio said.

If Rubio introduces a DREAM Act of his own with wide GOP and some Democratic support, he could steal not just thunder but votes — and, with a comprehensive economic and education message to the Latino community, start reversing that downward trend in the Hispanic vote.

OBAMACARE

Obama’s pet legislation has survived a Supreme Court challenge, numerous recall efforts in the House, and a repeal vow from his challenger for the Oval Office.

Boehner told ABC News that while the House may chip at parts of the law such as IPAB, the election changed any plans for full repeal. “Obamacare is the law of the land,” he said.

State governors are split on whether they’ll set up the healthcare exchanges that were a key provision of the law, though: Ahead of a Nov. 16 deadline, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has said yes; Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback say no.

In a second term, will Obama try to toughen ObamaCare and put even more control in the federal government’s hand? With a resistant House for at least his first two years, changes might come straight from the executive branch instead of going through proper legislative channels — branded, of course, with Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” policy initiative tag.

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT

In his victory speech early Wednesday morning, Obama referenced an issue he didn’t exactly touch on the campaign trail: climate change. “We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet,” he said, adding that a goal is “freeing ourselves from foreign oil.”

While the war on coal did make it onto the campaign trail, the president tried to deflect attention from his green-energy pursuits and gave copious public praise to domestic oil and gas production.

Considering the scant attention that’s been paid to an Interior Department run amok in Term No. 1, it’s not surprising Obama didn’t get called out more on his “all of the above” energy strategy which, as Republicans wryly note, pays little attention to the energy sources below ground. It will also be a signal that movement is imminent here if Obama shuffles Solyndra-ized Energy Secretary Steven Chu out the door and replaces him with someone who has experience in brokering energy bills, e.g. former Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.). And if Obama names Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) to be secretary of State, he’s got a huge global-warming alarmist in place to push climate agreements on the international stage.

CITIZENS UNITED

Democrats haven’t forgotten about this defeat and haven’t abandoned their quest to require greater disclosure of campaign donations. Don’t expect movement on this issue to be on the top of the list — to the dismay of Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) — but expect a renewed effort to run around the Supreme Court’s campaign finance ruling within the next four years.

THE CLINTON FACTOR

Who believes that President Clinton would do something — like, perhaps, jaunting around the country to get a Dem in trouble re-elected — for nothing?

As David Axelrod said on Piers Morgan’s show last night, Clinton was “the most valuable player in this campaign.”

It’s hard to believe that all of Clinton’s work, though, was simply because “he believes that there were two choices here and one led us forward and one led us back.”

“And so there is a strong sense of gratitude and I think the president is looking forward to calling on President Clinton in the future for advice council and assistance as we want — as we move this country forward,” Axelrod said.

Hillary Clinton has reportedly wanted to leave the Obama administration for a while, so her husband wasn’t helping Obama out to score her a prime position in his cabinet. And one can’t imagine Bill wanting to serve under Barack, so what’s next?

If Hillary wants to run in four years, you can expect that Bill will have his boot on Obama’s neck to avoid screw-ups or shifts that could cost the Democrats the White House. Does this mean that policy pushes in term No. 2 may be less drastic, less leftist than expected thanks to Clinton payback?

If Republicans go in Graham’s right direction, they will just become a moderate wing of the Democratic Party.
The Republican leadership must go (Graham, Mitchell, Boehner). They are the real losers, not the conservatives.

I think the “Clinton payback” theory is spot on. You can bet Hillary has White House aspirations. She” be almost 70 in four years but that isn’t really all that old in this day and age. I’ll make a prediction: Hillary runs in 2016 with rising Democratic star Julian Castro of Texas. Considering demographic trends that are not favorable to the GOP it would be extremely difficult to beat a woman/Latino ticket. It would shut the GOP out of the White House for 16 years.

Speaking as Cynical King, I’m wondering why you don’t know that there will not be an election in 2016. Three reasons: (1) no constitution requiring elections will be in effect (2) you don’t elect third world dictators anyway, and (3) No country, just an outpost on the western front of the One World Government as mentioned in the Bible.

This presupposes the RINOs will continue to lie down and whimper throughout the next four years of the total transformation of what used to be the United States, as they have for the last two. Many people will be dying as a result of this election and the RINOs will just whistle right on past the graveyard. Clueless. Clueless.

Well Jim, good buddy, ole boy, I think this recent article in the UK Daily Mail illustrates the sound and precient reasoning of Cynical Wonder. The relevance of your demographic is slowly being extinguished. Thank God. PJMedia, in a few years, will turn into The Onion.com or Cracked.com.

Walt, I couldn’t agree more. Those long termed dinosaurs in the House and Senate have got to go. Talk about useless fluff, that’s what these guys are full of. What is it about Washington that robs people of their spines?

Give Obama everything he wants. First-let’s go off the fiscal cliff, make that happen. Then let Obama pass everything he wants other than gun control, or any type of UN control. He will choke out the energy industry, O-care is going to lose jobs big time. Dodd Frank will ensure someone too big to fail WILL.
Let the socialists do what they want! Give the people what they want! They voted for it. Read this; http://www.jewishworldreview.com/1112/ahlert.php3

Well the Future Earth Alliance and Belmont Challenge we are managing and funding go operational in 2013 which would explain bringing back up Climate Change. After all it is the rationale for redesigning our economic system around Sustainability using all that data we are giving off without even realizing it. The Ecosystem. Gag.

In no small measure, watching the next 4 years will be akin to witnessing the TOTAL destruction of all the edifices for freedom in the west. Once the US’s pillars are gone, so too are the rest. Ditto…if Israel is destroyed.This is their nexus. Their twin alliance. Nothing more. Nothing less. The Founding Fathers based America on Judeo/Christian edifices!

And this is precisely why the US & Israel are in the cross hairs of the Red/Green alliance!! Never in US history has there been both a Radical/Islamist-in-Chief at the helm. And this is where the catastrophe lies!

Is it any wonder CAIR (the spearhead of the Muslim Mafia) is crowing at the POTUS’s win; Pelosi key noted fundraising events for THEIR candidates (there you go again…the Red part helping the Green part…)and most of these candidates won? Are patriots aware of this morphing, and what it really portends?

Anybody who honestly beleives that b.INSANE obama is going to honor ANY promise or ANY comittment offered in order to get re-elected is living in “dreamland”. ANY legislation or fiscal policy he wants will just come up as an Executive Order and will be implemented at his whim. NOBODY in either house of congress has the balls to stand up and say NO!! John Boehner is a f*cking JOKE as a leader and McCain and the rest of the crew are just as big a bunch of traitors as the democrats. Get ready for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth terms of b. INSANE obama (and when he gets bored, watch him install his “wookie” or his worthless daughters as our “rulers”. There is NO HONOR and NO GUTS in the political whores of Washington DC. A pox on all their houses and ALL of their families.

I rarely make any sort of long-term predictions, but I’ll do so here: before the “Won’s” second term is over, we will have mixed it up with someone around the world, and courtesy of gutting the military, we will have our asses handed to us on a platter.

“Does this mean that policy pushes in term No. 2 may be less drastic, less leftist than expected thanks to Clinton payback?”

I believe it’s more likely that Obama will push his heavy programs toward the front of his four years and then give two-year ‘cooling off’ period for Democrats to recover before the next election, much like he did his first term. He’s a socialist and, therefore, thinks everyone likes socialism once they get to know it.

He’s not going to back off, but push harder. Remember, whatever he does will be transformational and destructive.

Has it occurred to anyone that medical treatment under Obamacare may ultimately prove to be a lot harder to get if you are a registered Republican or Independant than if you are a registered Democrat? Wouldn’t surprise me at all, frankly.

Do what I have done for decades (here in Taxachusetts): register as an Independent, and if asked your political skew, lie. Consider it Taqiya for Republicans, Libertarians and Conservatives alike – “it is permissible to lie through your teeth to a Democrat.”

love that picture on the home page. dumb and dumber – who’s who? either way on any given day. then it opens up with obi’s sos biatch waving goodbye. off around the world to avoid testifying about benghazi i imagine. that’s taking responsibility, feminist/commie style. isn’t obiwon-agin headed for india? holder on another page (drudge) looking like the pet basset hound. pleeeeease feel soory for me. get yo arse under dat bus, fool. what a world.

I don’t think the amnesty or Dream Act are going to get the Republicans any votes. I tend to agree with Rush on this one, the Hispanics are like every other group voting Democrat – they’re looking for Santa, amnesty is a sidenote.

Any efforts to address any issues other than the economy, jobs, national defense, real tax reform, social security/medicare/medicaid reform (real legitimate means testing), fight to ammend a major portion of ObamaCare, balancing a budget and reducing the national debt, opening up at least 50% more domestic oil and gas production and cutting all funding for nation building around the world that cost billions in dollars and thousands in human maming and life that has yet to pay any real dividends since 1947. Anything else should be blocked in the House and the Senate by any means possible. I would have no problems with an effort to de-consolidate the banking industry and regionalizing (maybe no more than six) the investment banks in line with the regional fed centers. I know, the GOP is not friendly to the latter idea but it needs to be done for economic security! I also would have NO problems with a move to somehow dissolve Freddie and Fannie and return to only a pure FHA model for use in rural America in conjunction with the old Federal Land Bank model.

There are plenty of good laws on the books pertaining to immigration — they just need to be enforced to the letter of the law even it it calls for activating the States National Guards so forget immigration reform! Forget the ruse called climate control. Foreign aide should be limited social relief and economic development on the basis of peace within a country and not on the basis of buying friendship alliance or weaponizing. think about the latter idea!

Obama will pay off the unions thugs that helped him steal the vote. He’ll reward Hispanic lawbreakers by sponsoring amnesty, which will force the Republicans to reject it. that way, Hispanic illegals will long remember that Obama went to bat for them in an act of high treason, and the Republicans will say “no”.

The Leftist cancer is stage four, and now Acorn and all the Leftist diseases like Card Check will multiply and become more virulent with a secure and steady stream of loot . As for “Hug Boehner” as the title says… Absolutely will never happen. This S.O.B. is the most partisan, radical hack that has ever occupied the WH. “Hug Boehner” = no, but Obama will definitely rub him the wrong way. (Bad attempt at humor).

As Olympia Snowe said, we should not stand in the way of history. The Socialists have won, there is no use in fighting it. It only makes your life a hellish nightmare, of disappointment and bitterness.

It is time to build alternate institutions and rebuild and fortify our culture outside the institutions, in parallel separate apartness. We must embrace our own identity and nurture it….now that we are no longer the masters of our own fate in our own nation states.

We are already seeing layoffs in advance of the more concrete measures in Obamacare, implemented by a bureaucracy that I am now convinced has no real understanding of capitalism or how it works.

As a result, the economy is going to start falling again, unemployment will go up (but don’t be alarmed, they will continue to cook the numbers so the official unemployment rate stays below the magical 8% mark), and you will see more social and economic distress manifested in ways that it will eventually become impossible for the MSM to hide. Given the debilitating rules coming out, it is impossible for any other outcome.

Only question left in my mind is how fast it’s going to happen.

Maybe the best way to get Obamacare repealed is to go ahead and let the country get a healthy dose of it, good and hard.

The Republican party should redefine itself in a way that could move it much closer to the Libertarians. Remember crowds at Ron Paul rallies?
I am not advocating the total isolationism or marihuana legalization, but there was a lot of interest toward the old dude among younger Americans.

All the Libertarian party is made of is disgruntled Republicans. Guys like Ron Paul and Gary Johnson will always be around, but they will always just be extra names out there. Mostly that is all they care about anyway. If any of them ever won an election, the would have no clue how to implement their philosophies. That is because politics is not philosophy. Philosophy is about ideas and beliefs and what is the true nature of things. Politics is about power and the exercise thereof.

Its been best said that An anarchist is an extreme libertarian, like a socialist is an extreme democrat progressive. Seems that the both evolved and somehow joined ranks within our two major parties for some strategic purpose I supose.

Second term won’t be much different than first except the degree of inconvenience. 16,000 IRS agents were a clue and the ease with which Benghazi was swept under the rug by the media for the sake of an election, another clue. They’ll be coming after your money, but when they screw-up, nobody will notice ’cause the media won’t report it.

What should happen is for a state or two or three to simply say, “You know, we’re tired of your “FEDGOVGOD knows all” crap. You’re broke and we’ll not go any further with this charade. You have 24 hours to remove every federal employee from our state as we intend to secede from this failed Union, failure brought upon us by your reckless disregard of our institutions, our sovereignty, and that of our citizens. Those with fealty toward your failed agenda will be escorted to the exits as well. Be forewarned, we will defend our borders with prejudice.”

You see, nice guys always finish last. Obama’s first term should have proven this but a second term will leave no doubt. The jug-eared one is not the real bad guy- he’s just a facade. It’s the pitbull Axelrod barking over his shoulder that must be addressed. Axelfraud and his cohorts think they’ve pulled a fast one over the productive class and intend to inflict harm as only they can with the power of the FEDGOV at their disposal. But what power do they have if the states give them the middle finger? Or blow a hole into the boot they have intended to put on their necks? None, really.

If honest Abe were alive today, I bet he’d lead a state-by-state effort to reign in this rogue government. He wasn’t a fan of slavery and $16 trillion in debt with no relief in sight makes slaves of us all, especially our children and grandchildren, to a future certain to be as bare as old Mother Hubbard’s cupboards. How I wish I could get fifteen minutes with Matt Lauer to slap his little ass around. And another with David Gregory. These non-reporters are nothing but flag twirlers for this administration and are desperately in need of a smack-down. As a non-nice guy, it would be my pleasure.

You dont know much about Abe. He mortgaged the country to enslave the Southern States and it’s citizens to his despotic military regime. Contract immigrant soldiers did the dirty work.

Abe probably would have loved the Age of Obama, with it’s continuance of unconstitutional centralized power and crushing of states and citizens rights. He no doubt would have been a big fan of indefinite detention and drone assassinations of citizens.

the election can be symbolized by one incident.
a girl from organizing for america was in our neighborhood before the election. she was equipped with an iphone and a tablet computer that showed highly detailed color coded graphics of the entire area, house by house. ground game 2012!
her republican counterpart came along, armed with a clipboard. ground game 1986!
here is one weapon in the democrat arsenal:http://www.ngpvan.com/smartvan
note paragraph 3: this “industry-leading” company refuses to sell its technology to republicans.

Hillary is going to resign early in 2013. I think she may very well be Obama’s first Supreme Court nomination in his second term. They (the Clintons) obviously have something on Dear Leader or else Slick would not have campaigned for the guy who ruined Hillary’s big shot at the presidency. It’s payback time.

“Sticks” Obama thinks he can run a replay of the last 4 for 4 more. I doubt it. The world, including the US, is less safe, less secure, and the US economy will stall in 2013 when the tax hikes kick in.
Jobs will be gone; inflation will surface as a rapidly speading infection; and more.
The Muslim hordes,as with the Golden Horde, will seek prey wherever possible. The wing of Radical Islam will prevail in Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere. Syria will be tested and it may be the UN will call for an invasion, mostly with what remains of the U.S. military, and the UN will provide French made white flags if any thing goes wrong.
One thing I may count on: Obama will carry his golf clubs to every destination and play the best courses; Michelle has plenty of travel brochures on hand to plan her for travel as a good will ambassador.

This article just scratches the surface of what obama and goons are going to do this country in the next four years.
His executive orders along with the EPA regulations fixing to be spit out by the hundreds, are the more scary of the obvious as listed above.
It is the unknown from obama and goons that I fear and not the obvious!
And if anyone thinks the Republican leadership is going to do anything to slow, stop or even curb the pending complete destruction of our Constitutional Republic……..you are truly delusional. They will do what they always do which is to whine about the executive orders and regulations, but in the end they will go ahead and tow the line in order to keep what little delusion of power they currently have.

Gosh Ms. Johnson, you forgot to mention one other rather important issue
which faces Mr. Obama in his second term…..Benghazi-gate.
The people of this once great nation must demand that Congress perform a
thorough investigation of the terrorist attack on the Benghazi U.S. consulate
on 9/11/12. We must never, ever forget Benghazi and the four U.S. citizens
who were murdered that day.
Mr. Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Leon Panetta have a lot of answering
to do, before the American people let them off the hook.
Treason is defined in the Coonstitution as betrayal, treachery and
breach of allegiance. If that be the case, then impeachment is the real
“mandate” for Congress, as soon as they save the country from fiscal collapse.
Good luck, America.

couple of things: I think it’s time the Republican party goes isolationist. Frankly that would get us more votes than any sort of Dream Act nonsense. We are losing the warriors that we need the most, for the future of this country. And we are losing them in pointless, poorly designed and implemented wars that accomplish nothing. The Dems were terribly upset about the War on Terror until one of their own was in charge. Let them be the party of endless wars. We would be best served to secure our own borders and prevent terrorist acts here at home. We should also come out in favor of abolishing the Homeland Security Department and the TSA. It’s just another bureaucracy and has not made us safer.

We have to start making an attempt at educating the part of the country that is willing to learn. I don’t understand how the party responsible for segregating the military, forming the KKK and preventing integration gets to call the Republicans racist. Our current education system teaches a terribly slanted and inaccurate history of this country. Ken Burns has proved that documentaries can be popular. We would be better off to put more money into projects like this and less into Presidential campaigns. It would be nice, along the way, to educate the public on finance and economics. Remember those Milton Friedman shows? There are folks that can make even economics interesting.

The most hopeful thing I read over the last two days was a comment from someone in Canada. He pointed out how long the Liberals had power in Canada. The Conservatives there were able to overcome it. We can do it here, but we can’t do it with a strategy of Dem Lite.

How about some outreach to White voters..who voted in 2008 but not in 2012? 3 million or so republicans…8 millions Democrats. Hispanics are 9% of the total vote the Open Borders Lobby are pushing 10% but that is only BECAUSE WHITE PEOPLE STAYED HOME.
GIVE THEM ALL AMNESTY. DON’T LET THEM VOTE FOR 25 YEARS. WATCH THE MEDIA…REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS DISCOVER…YES WE DO NEED A BORDER

NATIVE BORN AMERICANS GET TWO VOTES. ONE FOR THE TAXES THEY AND THEIR FAMILIES PAID FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS….THE OTHER FOR THE BLOOD THEY SHELD TO BUILD A NATION THAT SO MANY CAN MAKE SO MUCH…SELLING IT.

HO HO HO SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TOWN… HE PROMISING CITIZEHSHIP IF YOU VOTE RIGHT..LET THE AMERICANS SUPPORT FOREVER…87% OFA MEXICANS LIVING IN THE USA ON MEDICADE AND FOOD STAMPS..USA CENSUS OF 2010 SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO MEXICO THIS YEAR..AND HONDURAS AND CHINA AND EGYPT AND AFRICA AND RUSSIA AND INDIA…AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GET TO GIVE THEM THEIR JOBS..PAY THEIR HEALTH CARE…
SANTA CLAUS..COMING TO TOWN. LOTS OF WHITE PEOPLE..WHO DID VOTE..NOT VOING ANYMORE. SOMETHING IS WORKING HERE…..SOMETHING HAPPENING..

Florida is sending a great guy to D.C. Ted Yoho. He is a vet..the kind that saves your bird or dog. He is fed up with corruption in D.C…wasting our money giving it to nations that hate us…legalizing anyone who can stick a toe over our border..than lavishing benefits on them…..the mockery that the USA govt. is today..
So we love him.

He will come home in a year…………And he is Lindsey Graham.
It must be like Passages or something. Virals bite them. And they turn Lindsey Graham.
I sort of think that for most of the people in the USA they really don’t give much of rat hinny amymore. but still….Lindsey Graham. MR. YOHO..DON’T SHAKE HANDS WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM…just in case…

A lot of this Hispanic Outreach stuff is to divert attention from the failed campaign. On Election day..the Architect’s team..was calling CNN for poll results. Their “orca” which was going to transform collecting data had a flaw. It did not work. No one knew what was going on….
Romney took no questions at stops. Ryan has a lateness problem.

Romney was for immigration enforcement..then he had woman His Hispanic Outreach person…giving interviews..he was not going to deport anyone..he liked the Dream aCt. his father was born in mexico..SHE CONVINCED THE CONSERVATIVES..THEY BAILED ON ROMNEY..BIG TIME. HE LOST HIS BASE.
RYAN TOOK CARE OF THE SENIORS.

BUT IT WAS A LACK OF HISPANIC OUTREACH? HOW CAN MEDIA OUTLETS PRINT THAT CRAP AND NOT BREAK OUT LAUGHING?
